[PATCH v3 4/9] drm: fix potential null ptr dereferences in drm_{auth, ioctl}

There are three areas where we dereference struct drm_master without
checking if the pointer is non-NULL.

1. drm_getmagic is called from the ioctl_handler. Since
DRM_IOCTL_GET_MAGIC has no ioctl flags, drm_getmagic is run without
any check that drm_file.master has been set.

2. Similarly, drm_getunique is called from the ioctl_handler, but
DRM_IOCTL_GET_UNIQUE has no ioctl flags. So there is no guarantee that
drm_file.master has been set.

3. drm_master_release can also be called without having a
drm_file.master set. Here is one error path:
  drm_open():
    drm_open_helper():
      drm_master_open():
        drm_new_set_master(); <--- returns -ENOMEM,
                                   drm_file.master not set
      drm_file_free():
        drm_master_release(); <--- NULL ptr dereference
                                   (file_priv->master->magic_map)

Fix these by checking if the master pointers are NULL before use.
